Captain Cuellar's Adventures In Connacht And Ulster, A. D. 1588 (1897)

Captain Cuellar's Adventures in Connacht and Ulster, A.D. 1588 is a historical book written by Hugh Allingham and first published in 1897. The book documents the true story of Captain Francisco de Cuellar, a Spanish soldier who survived the shipwreck of the Spanish Armada off the coast of Ireland in 1588. Cuellar was one of the few survivors of the Armada and was washed ashore in County Sligo, Ireland. He then embarked on a perilous journey across Connacht and Ulster, facing many dangers and difficulties along the way. Cuellar's journey took him through hostile territory, where he encountered both Irish rebels and English soldiers. Allingham's book is based on Cuellar's own written account of his adventures, which he penned after his safe return to Spain. The book provides a fascinating insight into the political and social context of Ireland in the late 16th century, as well as the experiences of a foreigner stranded in a strange land. Captain Cuellar's Adventures in Connacht and Ulster, A.D. 1588 is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of Irish history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Irish history, the Spanish Armada, or tales of adventure and survival.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
